Best Answer

Both elves and dwarves originated in J.R. Tolkein's Lord of the Rings

Answer:
Elves have been a feature of English, German and Norse folklore for centuries. The original elf name is not possible to determine. The old description of elves - not totally nice critters - has modified with time so that Tolkein and present new agers turn them into almost pleasant, if somewhat aloof, beings.
The present incarnation as serfs in Santa's workshop is somewhat of a puzzle. Both the activities they partake in (making toys) and the actors hired in most commercials indicate they are dwarves, not elves. The elves working in malls with Santa are generally more like fairies ( pretty young women) and may be standing in for elves.
